Moisture management agents

Saccharide Oligomers and Polymers as Moisture Management Agents. The relationship between the solute concentration and linear DP requirements for entanglement and network formation, and its resultant effect on Tg (molecular vs. network), also has important implications for moisture management by saccharide oligomers and polymers (6.7). ... 

The main flmction of textiles used in articles of clothing is to protect the body by keeping heat in and moisture out. The wearer comfort of textiles depends not only on heat and moisture management but also on the softness and feel of the material. Finishing agents impart a pleasant, soft and supple feel to textiles, especially to cotton but also to cotton-polyester blended fabrics. 

Density and Moisture Tester (MC-l). A 50 mCi mixture of Americium-241 and Beryllium is located within the base of the MC-l (about 200 times more than is used in the M43A1 Chemical Agent Detector). Neutron emission occurs when an alpha particle emitter such as Americium-241 is mixed with Beryllium (Be) powder in a tightly compressed pellet. The MC-l also has a 10 mCi Cesium-137 source located in a probe tip used to determine the density of the soil at a construction site. This source is classified as a special form source and is double-encapsulated in stainless steel. TACOM is the NRC license holder for the MC-l and is responsible for item management.
